If beer can artwork, then so can you!

It’s nice for him to be inclusive of 18! year olds. Dating can be difficult for ladies in their mid-quadrillions.

I feel like you just shout things into the void and people give you points for agreeing with you.

Lol at first I thought this was a direct criticism of the person you were replying to.

And it does a pretty damn good job as audio software, tbh. Fairlight kicks ass.

We all used to agree that it was the best option to go for.

Lol yes you walked right into that one… Well let me try to meet you half way with some open-ended questions:

1. What does “stabilize” mean in this context, and are the challenges there different than the challenges with non-renewables like fossil fuels?

2. What are the biggest bottlenecks for stabilizing renewables, and how surmountable are they? For example, I’ve heard lots of talk about how large-scale battery networks(…?) are important to smooth out capacity for swingy energy sources like solar and wind (i.e. you gotta make sure the power doesn’t go out at night!), but the materials for batteries (e.g. extractable lithium?) are scarce… Or similar concerns about photovoltaic cells. Is there any merit to those concerns? Or are the bottlenecks elsewhere? Or is there no bottleneck at all but Big Oil is conspiring to keep us on hydrocarbons?

Yeah, I share your feeling that it feels thought-policey and troubling. But my guard is just a little bit up in the other direction too, maybe because I saw this right after this thread, where a guy was in an online argument with a woman and essentially threatened her family by driving to another city, finding her dad in the hospital, and taking a selfie next to him… Then he posted it in a public comment thread where she would see it.

With that information, it’s clear that he’s the bad guy… But I can see how if we just heard his side, with all of the condemning details omitted, it could be super easy to get baited into reacting like “Wtf, you can’t even take a selfie in this country anymore?”

His defense was “I was merely trying to win an online argument,” which thankfully, the judge thought was nonsense. I don’t think it was dystopian for the cops to show up at his house and say “You’ve done some harmful things online, and here are some consequences.” (I actually don’t know if cops showed up or he just got a court date or what, but you know what I mean)

So there are many ways that this story isn’t equivalent to that story, but I was already primed to be like… “Oh okay well what were the posts?” The window of potential reactions is pretty wide based on the answer to that.

Yeah, it sounded like the detectives(…?) were going to lay out some of the details of the complaint, but she get-the-fuck-out’d them before they got there.

It matters quite a lot IMO what she was doing. Are we talking about dozens of harrassing/threatening DMs on multiple platforms? Or are we talking about heated comments on public posts? She said “I never threatened anyone,” etc. but that’s what they all say. I’m not suggesting she’s lying, there’s just no signal.

I hope we get to see the posts in question at some point.

Thanks for explaining. I still think “planning” is a weird way to think about what’s supposed to happen during standup-- It seems to me that the whole purpose of working in sprints (and the rituals that that typically entails) is to plan ahead so that during the week you can execute on well-groomed, properly-scoped work. Of course when you notice something is wrong, or needs to be reconsidered, you might need to pull the brakes and realign mid-sprint, but my sense is that if you’re doing planning every day, that might mean that your work isn’t groomed well enough beforehand, or you’re not locking in important decisions during sprint planning.

But it might depend on the work, and it might depend on what you mean by “planning.” If your planning just looks like “Hey are you free to pair on issue 123 this afternoon? Okay sweet, I’ll throw a meeting in your calendar,” then yeah sure-- I wouldn’t use the word “planning” for that, but it’s not crazy to. Or maybe the work is different than my work, and actually does warrant some amount of day-level of planning that wouldn’t make sense for teams I’ve been on. I’m open to that, too.

(Btw I tried to look up this “planning planning feedback feedback cycle” thing and the only search results I got were THIS LEMMY THREAD, lol… Cool to see Lemmy show up in search results)

There are definitely tracks where you can easily exceed 234kph.

Just tell all of the recommendation algos that my interests are this.

Yeah it’s bad news when the title has to parenthetically clue you in that it’s popular, lol.

And being on a track in a controlled environment. Going anywhere near this speed on a shared road is absolutely unconscionable in any conditions.

Err… Is your team doing planning during standup? I’ve never heard of that, from either people who are on teams that use standups, or from any of the Agile/Scrum literature that I’ve seen. In my experience, standups are typically about either a) coordinating the execution of work that has already been committed to, or b) whoops just a status meeting and everybody’s tuned out.

Just generally not being a jerk, in a situation where people are often jerks.

In a narrow sense, it’s useful for like… e.g. location-based search…So of you search “cosmetic dentistry,” it’s useful to privilege results closer to you (or at least you could make that argument). But broadly, in practice, “personalization” is primarily optimized for the ad buyer or first-party company’s goals (e.g. engagement, click-through) as per phases 2 and 3 of the enshittification cycle… And we know what happens to secondary goals as systems become increasingly optimized.

So I’m not claiming that it can’t be los dos, and indeed in phase 1 it definitely is… I’m claiming that it isn’t los dos, in practice, at this moment in history.

What options do we have to stabilize a renewable energy system and make it long term viable?

Great question – Because the process of enshittification requires the subordination of the user’s interests to the interests of businesses (ad buyers, in Google’s case), which in turn will be subordinated to the interests of shareholders. In principle, it should be possible to balance los dos in a pro-consumer, non-cynical way, but in practice, more line go up. Line must go up. Enshittification optimizes for line go up.

A good example of a time where you really need to full-ass it.

Algebra is OP
